You don't have public executions for people who shoot kids

Why would they do one for a 'influencer' and 'YouTube' celebrity.

I’ve already responded to this critique. If you don’t want to read my posts, that’s your choice.

******* hell Chicago what is wrong with you? You are such a hateful individual and so blind to your own hypocrisy.

 

[dirty harry]

Basically everything you posted was wrong. Why give you a thoughtful response?

Enjoy the BBC. The world is on a new path.

Me and you are going to fall out, I cant keep accepting an American mocking the BBC!

Okay, next steps. Looks like massive RICO cases are coming down on left-wing groups and NGOs. That's step 1.

For Tyler Robinson, the death penalty is available in Utah, but I wonder if this gets upgraded to treasonous action due to capital murder.

We haven't had a public execution in nearly 100 years, I wonder if we have another?

Tried to stay out of the thread as I can't remember hearing of Charlie Kirk before this and I had no huge opinion, but this is the kind of ridiculous rhetoric that will lead to a civil war if left unchecked. Abusing the law to take down political opponents is just tyranny. Publicly executing Robinson will just make him a martyr. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a revenge killing or two before he even goes to trial and a public execution would just in flame the situation.

I doubt you'll listen and I don't care for your response, but maybe it'll change someone's mind and hopefully help stop America's descent into anarchy.

Its a reasonable point, there was an arrest in Idaho last night, a couple people rocked up to a vigil abusing black and Mexican people there, got a kicking and then got arrested, and Chauvin got stabbed 14 times in prison.

Usual laughing emote again from Harry. Considering you claim to not take sides and oppose people regurgitating extremist rhetoric, it's pretty telling you will not once haul up Chicago on his extremist rhetoric and complete inability to be impartial. Almost like you don't believe what you preach at all.

The left has called anyone to the right of Obama a fascist for a decade. And looked what it has led to. We have Italian anti-fascist songs written on bullet casings.


I didn't live through the 60s. But history is rhyming.

Meanwhile you lot called anyone to the left of Bush a Communist, Socialist etc and have been doing so since the McCarthy era. NOW you want to look where it led to? You were pretty ******* quiet when it was Democrats being killed though weren't you?

Joking about slagging off the BBC? You really think that's taking him to task for the bile he's spreading? If you're not going to step up like you claim you do then don't you dare go on about opposing extreme rhetoric form both sides whilst ignoring it completely from Chicago.

You understand, when I keep referring to red team blue team...

This is a great example.

Apologies as you said even third world countries don't try to assasinate there leaders.

Speaking as a civilised country and not a 3rd world country that's tried to assassinate it's leader a few times recently.

Public executions just seem uncivilised and very 3rd world country. Nobody really wants to watch someone die. It's brutal and horrific.

No it isn't, because I don't think anyone to the right of Obama is a fascist, whilst he does act like anyone to the left of Bush is Socialist. Big difference. He's completely ignoring everything the far right have done to push us here and is blaming it entirely on the left. I accept the left has played a role in ramping up the rhetoric, Chicago doesn't recognise "his side" has done anything wrong at all.

You frequently come in with laughing emojis dismissing what anyone says and condescendingly act like they are radicalised from consuming extreme content and are oh too stupid to see the enlightened path such as you can. You are dismissing their fears out of hand. LGBT people face the highest levels of targeted violence and abuse of any group and by some margin. You saw the video of a guy getting mobbed at a hotel here in the UK for daring to say illegals weren't all criminals so why pretend this sort of thing isn't happening? Kiwi may not get mobbed sure but could they face abuse and potentially be in danger, particularly in the current climate given what's happened with Kirk? Definitely.

If you oppose radicalism, why do you never take Chicago to task for the stuff he writes?

Great post, spot on

Hes also had a few laughing emotes, cross emotes, and a shoed wow emote. He just doesnt seem to get triggered by them, what do you want me to do, call him a Nazi?

 

[ChicagoKid]

Tell @Ragey Erasmus to send the Bobbies to come arrest me for my extremist language.

As I said earlier, I do not like the direction this country is going. And I will never participate in harm against my fellow citizens.

But I see the path the country is on. I’ve spent the last few days listening to moderate people seething with anger.

We have crossed the rubicon.

Do what you usually do to literally everyone else, show some consistency.

And I agree with this POV, as ive said 1 million times both sides are to blame!

You claim to not like the direction the country is going? Not that long ago you were gloating about the direction the country was going under Trump. You seem to take glee out of the state being used to attack your political rivals. You're just a massive hypocrite.

If you can't see the role the far right have played in this, and now feel they have free rein to continue playing in this, then you are part of the problem.

I cant leave that up there, I'm not into personal attacks.
